01 / Make the idea tangible

Before “action”,
there’s what if.

A rough sketch. A reference photo. A scene you can’t stop thinking about. Give it a place to grow.

Build your shot list, put words to each shot, and explore a different direction without losing the original.

A few things, before you begin

Good
questions.

The practical details.
Then, back to the creative part.

Do I need to know how to draw?

Not at all. Upload reference photos or existing artwork, use images from your asset library, or sketch directly inside StillToReel. Mix different kinds of visuals in the same Reel.

Can I preview my Reel as an animatic?

Yes. Give each shot a duration, add an audio track and preview your sequence on a timeline. You can export the result as an MP4, including subtitles when configured.

Can clients review a board without an account?

Yes. Share a public review link and optionally protect it with a password. When comments are enabled, guests can leave feedback on individual shots.

What can I export?

Export your Reel's shot list as a PDF or slides, and your animatic cut as an MP4 video, ready to post.

Is StillToReel free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes shot planning, drawing, animatics, and team collaboration with usage limits, and you can sign up without entering payment details. A commercial plan with higher limits is available on request.
